This wild rockstar and introverted kindergarten teacher have only one goal in common.
To get her pregnant as soon as possible.

When legendary performer Jubal Ash loses the only person in the world who ever cared about his true self, he knows it’s time to start a family of his own. He expects to be matched with a starstruck surrogate who will loan him her womb and a week of good fun. But instead, he’s blindsided by a shy young schoolteacher, who somehow has him desperate with lust, in spite of her prim ways.

Chloe McGuinty may be the only being in the system who doesn’t know who superstar Jubal Ash is. Until now, her life has been dedicated to her kindergarten students, and to saving for treatments at the local fertility clinic. But when the man she thought was her future marries someone else, she knows it’s time for a change. Agreeing to be a surrogate for an alien in order to have her fertility restored is one thing. But being matched with a reckless, outrageously handsome, horned Maltaffian has her off balance from the moment his hungry eyes land on her.

They say that opposites attract, but even Oberon, the matchmaking AI for the Midsummer Fertility Center, is having a hard time getting the teacher and the rockstar on the same page. His only hope is that Jubal can encourage Chloe to let her hair down, and that Chloe can help him see he is much more than just a celebrity. And there is no better place than the most romantic location in the galaxy to make it happen.

Chloe de Tasha Black serie Alien Surrogate Agency libro 5

Argumento:

Esta salvaje estrella de rock y la introvertida maestra de jardín de infantes solo tienen un objetivo en común.

Para dejarla embarazada lo antes posible.

Cuando el legendario artista Jubal Ash pierde a la única persona en el mundo que alguna vez se preocupó por su verdadero yo, sabe que es hora de formar su propia familia. Espera que le asignen una deslumbrada madre sustituta que le preste su útero y una semana de diversión. Pero en cambio, es sorprendido por una tímida y joven maestra de escuela, que de alguna manera lo tiene desesperado por la lujuria, a pesar de sus modales remilgados.

Chloe McGuinty puede ser el único ser en el sistema que no sabe quién es la superestrella Jubal Ash. Hasta ahora, su vida ha estado dedicada a sus alumnos de jardín de infantes y a ahorrar para tratamientos en la clínica de fertilidad local. Pero cuando el hombre que creía que era su futuro se casa con otra persona, sabe que es hora de un cambio. Aceptar ser madre sustituta de una extraterrestre para restaurar su fertilidad es una cosa. Pero ser emparejada con un imprudente, escandalosamente guapo y con cuernos de Maltaffian la tiene desconcertada desde el momento en que sus ojos hambrientos se posan en ella.

Dicen que los opuestos se atraen, pero incluso Oberon, la inteligencia artificial que empareja al Centro de Fertilidad Midsummer está teniendo dificultades para lograr que el maestro y la estrella de rock estén en sintonía. Su única esperanza es que Jubal pueda animar a Chloe a soltarse el pelo y que Chloe pueda ayudarlo a ver que es mucho más que una celebridad. Y no hay mejor lugar que el lugar más romántico de la galaxia para hacerlo realidad.



Mi humilde opinión:


Otra mujer de Terra-58 busca ayuda en la clínica de fertilidad Midsummer y la IA Oberon la ayudará no solo a tener un bebé propio algún día sino a encontrar el amor! Chloe es una tímida maestra de jardín de infantes. Me rompía el corazón cuando tras muchos intentos no podía quedar embarazada y después el hombre con el que pensó formaría una familia se compromete con otra?! Enseguida me gustó Chloe. Tenía un gran corazón y amor por los niños.

Adoro a los Maltaffians! Jubal era una estrella de rock rebelde que quiere una familia. Fue lindo con Chloe, comprensivo y la ayudaba a ser más aventurera. Pero no me gustó cómo manejó las cosas al final, en lugar de hablar con ella sobre lo que lo preocupaba él huye? Estaba dejando a su pareja destinada atrás! Menos mal que Chloe no lo dejó marchar sin decirle lo que pensaba de su tontería!

Chloe es una lectura agradable y de ritmo rápido con una historia de amor dulce, sexy y divertida que me dejó una gran sonrisa al final.

“CHLOE” is the 5th fantastic page-turning story in the “Alien Surrogate Agency” series ;) It grabbed me from the get-go with Ms. Black’s magical way with words, and relatable characters & clever dialogue, plus romance & off the charts chemistry between the h/H, Chloe & Jubal, that kept me turning pages and gave me the HEA I always want ;) ... Even tho I volunteered to read this before the kindle release day, it was without any outside influences & I can honestly recommend this to adult fans of fiction! Now I can’t wait to get my hands on the next installment, but of course I always do wait ;)

Chloe was a kindergarten teacher who absolutely loved kids. Her classroom kids were her life. Jubal was a rock star who wanted a family of his own. They both came to the surrogacy center with ideas of their own. But Oberon had a plan. All bets are off when Oberon works his magic! From the drool worthy Rockstar with the tender, loving style, as well as thousands of screaming fans to the sweet but fierce kindergarten teacher who's responsible for setting the groundwork for such young children's lives, can fireworks and love be too far off? Another fabulous book in the Alien Surrogacy Agency series by Tasha Black

Another good read for this series...
This was an enjoyable and easy read. Fast paced and steamy, this book holds your attention until the end. I love Tasha Black's books and this is no exception. I'm rating 4 stars as I felt something was missing, moved a little fast and a lot of internal dialog to believe the instalove. I still enjoyed this book, but not as much as the others in the series. This can be read as a standalone, however much more enjoyment if you read the whole series. I still love Oberon!! Chloe was a great character and you could see what a great teacher that she was. Jubal got started off on the wrong foot not liking teachers, but he turned it around quick. Can't wait for the next book!!

I received an ARC of this book, however all opinions and thoughts are my own.

Heart felt read with Chloe and Jubal who have made a life changing decision

Jubal is a famous music writer and singer and is known throughout the planets and as much as he loves his music, he is making a major decision that will change his life for the better by becoming a father.

Chloe a Kindergarten teacher has been trying to become pregnant as is necessitated by the planet she is on, the females have to produce an offspring prior to the being able to marry it is a matriarchal society. Unfortunately, after several attempts initially helped by her parents and then continued from her own meagre teacher’s salary, she remains unsuccessful.

A friend recommends an off-world facility that is nit well known where the Terran females agree to be surrogates to partner that has been carefully matched, after the pregnancy it awakens the female’s reproductive ability and usually allows them to fall pregnant. This is an opportunity Chloe cannot afford to turn down, she cannot imagine not having children even though the thought of never seeing this baby once Jubal leaves for his home world.

Oberon is the AI that controls everything from the matching of partners to the daily arranged activities the couple take part in to become familiar with and comfortable with as Multaffian males are only able to procreate in the traditional way, there has to be a bond of sorts between the couple otherwise the fertilization will not take place.

Jubal and Chloe are two very different individuals and his childhood experience of teachers is surprisingly nothing like this tiny Terran female that cares dearly for her young student, she has even managed to follow their progress. He is totally at a loss that she has never heard of his music or the fact that he is rich and followed all over the planets by fan and press.

As they spend more time together and continue to try to become pregnant Jubal realises that his feelings are changing and Chloe is similarly finding herself falling in love with this gentle beautiful man but knows that she has agreed to fulfil a need.

When Jubal suddenly decides that he is going to change the agreed contract she shows he real colours and hunts him down to tell him her exact feelings and is surprised at the outcome. Oberon is as ever looking on, watching and learning everything that makes these couple tick and hopefully find their happy ever after.

I guarantee that loke me you will start reading this book and will find it impossible to put the book down until you reach the end and discover the outcome.

I assure you that you will love every moment of this book it is simply a fantastic read.
I voluntarily received and review an Advanced Reader Copy
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the great writing.

just the right amount of everything

On a Terran world far in the future there are laws about having children and dating. Main rule, for woman, of course, you must carry and birth a child and then you may search for Mr. Right. But for school teacher Chloe McGuinty, it appeared it would never happen. She was infertile, even after several procedures to correct it. Than a friend suggested an alien center that offered her the opportunity to become a surrogate for a Maltaffian. The rate of successful pregnancies were in the high 90%. Only one catch the babe would be given to the father and she was never to contact either ever again.
She was good with that, since afterwards she could have other children with a man of her choice. Until she met Jubal Ash, spent time with him and slowly began to care for him. Jubal has recently lost someone he loved that left a hole in his life. After years on the road as a super rock star, he knew it was time to have his own family. And what better way than to pay a woman to have his child and than disappear leaving him to raise his child alone.
The main characters personalities were quickly brought forth with alternating POVs, so the reader gets to know them as they get to know each other. The AI who created the center was very well drawn out and in my opinion, if AIs like Oberon can be created, sign me up for my personal life form. I enjoyed the quick read tale, as well as the background world for the fertility Center Oberon created. There is some steamy bits, as the reader watches Chloe and Jubal begin to learn each other, a grand coming together seems inevitable if Jubal can get past a few stumbling blocks. This is the fifth book in this series and I for one will be going back for the rest.

Even though I love all the books in the alien surrogate agency series, my favorite character is still Oberon. Who knew an AI could have so many feelings and be so involved in two characters and wanting them to find true love. But that is exactly what he does. Jubal felt it was time that he had a child, someone else that he could care about besides himself. As a rockstar known everywhere, it was time to get away. He went to the alien surrogate agency so he could have a child without the complications of females falling all over him. He wasn’t expecting Chloe, a kindergarten teacher from Tarren planet. If you haven’t read her books, a Terran is a human. There are different Terra planets each different from the other. Chloe lived in a female dominant, planet, and one of the rules of the planet is you had to bare a child before you could even think of finding love, marriage, or a happily ever after. Chloe was an excellent kindergarten teacher, but the one thing she was unable to do, and it had used up all her family’s money to try, is to have a child. She had heard that if she went to this agency, the males could start up her reproductive parts, and she could become pregnant when she got back to Terra. The hard part would be having to give up the child. But the more she got to know Jubal it was going to be difficult to give him up as well. Jubal fell in love with Chloe, but could they get past their differences, and finally admit to each other that they were meant to be. I loved this story, and it had a really great happily ever after.

Chloe & Jubal

Do opposites really attract? These two are about to find out along with help from an amazing AI.

If you are new to the series, some planets have unique ways to solve fertility issues. One is a new and ultra-modern method ending with a surrogate and leaving the child then being treated to overcome the previous fertility problems. It is complicated and few have the chance.

She is a teacher of kindergarten children. He is a famous rocker. Both have their reasons for choosing to be single parents. Let's just say it is a rocky beginning -- pun intended. They are warned to succeed in their tests they've been advised they need to work together.

As they go about their excursions to get to know each other they need to work together. What an experience working together and realizing their preconceived ideas about each other are SO wrong. There are other secrets that could change their lives--and will enhance your reading pleasure.

Can they find a way to be a family and share their baby--if she conceives?

Another addition to the emotional and touching series. Although it is not necessary to read the entire series I can guarantee you will enjoy it if you do.

“Mother Stars,” he murmured, frozen in place for a moment, as if even his heart were held fixed by her beauty.

This super hot read is Book 5 of the Alien Surrogate Agency series. Each story remains just as satisfying. Jubal is an actual rockstar in his world and suspicious of other’s intentions. He recently lost his sister and is alone in the world and yearns for a child of his own. Chloe struggles with infertility and volunteered to be a surrogate to restore it. She is a Kindergarten teacher and very committed to her students. As they get to know each other, Jubal develops strong feelings for Chloe but while he knows her backstory, she doesn’t know his. Will this ruin any chance of happiness together?
The bonus scene was so emotional and glad to see the other ladies making a repeat appearance! I voluntarily reviewed an author provided copy of this book.

Chloe #5 03/04/2023

Chloe has come to the midsummer fertility clinic to have a baby for someone. Because have a baby will kick start her fertility. She has waited three days for him to arrive. Jubal had to cancel part of his tour to get to the center to be with the women that is going to give him a baby. But soon these two are feeling a attraction to each other. And one of the things Jubal is shocked about Chloe doesn’t know who he is. But he started to furl the mating bond and try’s to leave so he doesn’t hurt Chloe by taking her away from her students. But she not going to let him run without explanation. So enjoy this read and see how they get a HEA!!

I can't even tell you how much I love this series and after reading the blurb for this book, I thought this one was going to be special. And you know what? I was right. I absolutely adored this book! Chloe and Jubal stole my heart and melted it into a pile of goo with the epic amount of sweetness, cuteness and heartstring tugging headed that is headed your way. As for The Feels, The Swoon and The Emotion? They are all here and abundant. If you are looking for a fantastic read, you need look no further. I am posting an unsolicited, objective review.

Chloe and Jubal; one person who thrived on rules and expectations. And the other lived to defy them. Opposite Attracts as Oberon had thought. Sweet and romantic. Purely written to make you feel good and smile. Oberon is the best matchmaker. As Jubal had thought Oberon created the Midsummer Fertility Center like a song. While Chloe came to the center in desperate need to be pregnant, little did she know our AI matchmaker will do anything to make this two fall in love. Did Oberon succeed?! well, let's just say it ended with Chloe wearing a ring and a little one in their arms.

This is a very sweet and steamy romance. Chloe needs this surrogacy as a means to become fertile for the future. Jubal, a well known rockstar, decides it's time for him to start a family so he goes to the Midsummer Fertility Center. He is set up with the sweet and caring Chloe as his surrogate. Chloe knows nothing of his fame. It is n'[t long before they both know that the feelings they share is more than surrogate and sperm donor. Their love gives them their precious child and family that they both have wanted.

Good reading. Things aren't always what the seem when looking on the outside, Jubal & Chloe are both very successful, career-wise. Without any romantic intentions, Oberon has it's work cut out. I like Chloe's boldness and bravery, both have big hearts and very considerate. Highly entertaining and adventurous journey to build upon their individual need to turn to surrogacy and deal with the explosion of emotion that sidetracks their original goals.

I always eagerly anticipate Tasha Black's new books, and this one did not disappoint! Jubal and Chloe are likeable and believable characters from the very start, and the AI Oberon is intriguing. The author has a gift for world building and a gifted imagination. This book is a page turner, well written and entertaining. So good!

Another fabulous addition to this series! I loved these characters so much, but gimpses into Oberon's work is still my favorite part.
Just like the other books, once I started reading, I couldn't put this book down. I enjoyed the storyline, and especially loved the way things are set up to bring the best out in Chloe and Jubal.

A must-read, amazing book that will take you out of this world!

Even though Chloe is a teacher Jubal had a issue about it cause of how he was brought up with teachers being mean and hateful 2 him. Can he learn enough about her 2 give her a chance even though she's a teacher? Oberon pulled out all the stops on this 1 cause of how they r different but do they have things in common 2? It was really interesting how she looked at him and not falling over herself 2 him like most people would do.

Beautiful!

Being a super star means that any amount of privacy is a true treasure. Jubal can't believe that Chloe doesn't know who he is.
Chloe is a kindergarten teacher who truly believes in doing her best for her students.
This story is definitely a case of opposites attracting. They are different in so many ways, but still find lots of common ground. You will truly love reading this book!! 💖

Chloe and Jubal

Chloe is a kindergarten teacher who is going to be a surrogate. Jubal is a famous singer who wants a baby. They go to the clinic where Oberon, the AI, sets different things up for them to bond over so they can conceive. This is another wonderful story in the Surrogate series.

A lovely & sweet tale

The simple innocence & strength of Chloe are endearing. Jubal is a celebrity, but underneath he an honorable man who misses his big sister after she passes away. Oberon, the matchmaking AI, you never know what scenario he will come up with to bring these couple to their happily ever ❤️ I am looking forward to the development of this character

love and fame

Imagine being famous and falling in love with someone who has no idea who you are. On the one hand, it’s refreshing to just be yourself… but you don’t have fame to fall back on if your personality fails to impress.

Jubal starts off terribly cynical about romantic love, while Chloe assumes it’ll never happen for her. I love how wrong they both are.

Really fun read

There were several typos, but only one really interrupted the flow of the story.

The characters were fun, and their arcs were quick but not too rushed. Oberon had some interesting growth in this book.

The stories have so much space for Tasha to expand if she ever decides to release supplemental stories in the series.

I think that Oberon, the AI, is the real hero of this story. It’s his job to figure out how to make the alien and surrogate human female fall in love. Their personalities are completely opposite. One thrives on rules while other tries to break as many as possible. Can this eventually work?

Chloe and Jubal it started out on the wrong foot and it is Oberon’s job to get them started on the right path. Chloe is a stickler for the rules as she is a kindergarten teacher while Jubal is a rocker, and he is all about breaking the rules. Can they work together to try to conceive and be a family? Oberon has his work cut out for him with this couple.

It really is, fifth time really is a charm. It’s a wonderful romance with a touch of uncertainty until they both understand. And it’s so very well written. Definitely my favourite in this series!

lovely story

Each of these alien surrogate stories gets better. The story between Chloe and Jubal is very sweet but believable. I enjoy the little touches such as the butterflies escaping the horse’s tongue during their lunch break. Three cheers for Oberon.

Ended too soon

I liked the story. However, it ended too soon. It’s like a regular earth romance play with alien actors. Roller skates, escape room? Why not a paint ball fight too. Still a quick read from the series.

Chloe

Terrific fun loving book. The pairing of Chloe school teacher and rock star Jubal was a mind blower. Opposites did indeed attract. Once they got the ball rolling their romance and loving was all up hill.
